You say you gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure; cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign

I will be spending the next 8 hours analyzing the importance of a quote from "10 Things I Hate About You." By which I mean that mean nasty boss-lady Nienna is making me go do my job now.

I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?

Haven't had bratwurst in weeks. Can't wait until lent is over!



Well, Fea, the thing about that is: what topic? Anything could be going on here. There could be seven cobblers and one duck, or seven ducks and one goose, or a weaver-werebear rangerlover who has to post something about ice cream every day.

Oh yeah, and:

ice cream.

YEs, have you never read Cowper (or indeed "To the lighthouse")?

"we drowned each alone, but I beneath a rougher sea was whelmed in deeper gulphs than he"

I've always thought drowning was the worst way to die. I see nothing romantic about throwing yourself/falling into a river and drowning for love, no matter what all those historic fiction writers say.

I would definitely rather be drownded than burned. If you people feel like giving me the choice.

Oh... well, maybe you're right. In retrospect, maybe drowning's not the worst.

It is meant to be relatively pleasant though how would they knwo.. but dying for love is a ridiculous way to behave... so is living for it
